Patsystems Broker Profile
Open position Profit/Loss is calculated by Patsystems broker and displayed in MultiCharts.
Unrealized Profit/Loss for the account is calculated by PasSystems broker and displayed in MultiCharts. Instead of Account open
Profit/Loss Patsystems returns Total Profit/Loss.
Patsystems does not support Native One-Cancels-Others group. In this case MultiCharts emulates OCO group on its end. Simulated OCO-group means that all OCO orders are sent to the broker, price is monitored by MultiCharts and once one of the orders is filled, other orders from this OCO group are cancelled by MultiCharts. When one of the OCO orders is filled, MultiCharts sends a command to cancel the second OCO order to broker. Note that the second order may also be filled if price reaches its level before the cancellation is processed by the broker (see OCO Risks).
